Health

We leverage our extensive experience, deep local knowledge, and collaborative spirit to create impactful health systems that enhance lives. By engaging with local communities and stakeholders, we aim to develop culturally relevant, implementable solutions that lead to measurable, sustainable change. Our approach facilitates the transition of health service delivery while strengthening capacity across district, provincial, and national levels. This is achieved through various financing instruments, including performance-based health service grants, ensuring quality health services reach rural and underserved urban populations in targeted provinces.

• Midwife and Health Worker Training: We equip health professionals with the skills needed to deliver essential care.
• WASH Integration: Our work spans water and sanitation, reproductive health, and disease prevention.
